What will happen on Tuesday?

This is not to single out Jeff Teuton and his combo, but rather a look at the stupidity of NHRA and how they assigned the start up HP to ALL off the Factory Race cars.

360 Engine = 275HP / 275 NHRA HP = 11.64 lb/hp = Natural H/SA
360 Engine = 275HP/275 NHRA HP = 11.00 lb/hp + 170# = G/SA = 3195# = 10.629 ET

360 Engine with 3.25% added = 284 NHRA HP = 11.27 lb/hp = Natural G/SA
360 Engine = 275HP/284 NHRA HP = 10.5 lb/hp + 170# = F/SA = 3152# = ????? ET

360 Engine with 3.25% added = 294 NHRA HP = 10.88 lb/hp = Natural F/SA
360 Engine = 275HP/294 NHRA HP = 10.0 lb/hp + 170# = E/SA = 3110# = ????? ET

So let me see if I have this right........

Add Horsepower move up a class, take out weight, go faster.

This could go on for years...

Is this a great plan or what...
